#NooneFightsAlone spreading the word out here in AZ and anywhere else this season takes me. #LokeyStrong by @zvoight11

There you have it. The response the story has received since Sunday has been incredible, and I attribute it 100 percent to how much Lokey is respected by those around the state. The story landed on the front page of the Stephen. F. Austin athletics website, and it’s been well-received across social-media platforms as well.

Also, if you’re taking pictures on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook or your social medium of choice, use the hashtag #Lokeystrong so everybody can see your scrawny wrists and lovely wristbands.

I have a feeling everybody will be pulling for Lokey to beat kidney cancer for a second time. If you want to see what he did immediately after the surgery required to win the first bout, well, just look below.
